Synopsis
Built from 1928 newsreelsâthe year 60 nations vowed to outlaw warâStorckâs razor-edged montage mocks the eraâs self-congratulation by cross-cutting speeches and parades with portents of renewed violence: nationalism, colonial repression, police brutality. Slow-motion collapsing chimneys and the exhumation of an âunknown soldierâ give the satire its sting.
